Copperband Butterfly wont eat. Suggestions ?

[Goby1Knoby]

Hi All


Ok could do with some help.

Have had a Copperband B.fish for last four weeks, but he is not eating properly.

Originally put him in main 6 foot tank, but Y.Tang beat up on him so had to move him to second only four month old 4 & 1/2 foot tank.

Prob, is he will not take any of the frozen fare offered to him. IE: Mysis/Brine/Bloodworms/Mussell/Squid.

Even tried to get him to eat fresh Oyster !!! Yes !! but to no avail.

Have put some Aiptasia covered main Tank L.Rock into the second tank but only ever saw him peck at the smaller ones, larger ones are still there weeks later.


Any suggestions ????????


DO NOT want to see him slowly waste away.




Thanks


Brian.

These guys can be finicky to say the least. I checked with another owner of one of these guys a while back and he had to turn his lights off and leave an aptasia covered rock in the tank for two days to get the guy to eat. I can't guarantee that the lights off trick will work but it's worth a shot.

If there were any type of {mayby,only one fish} to put in with him that was a very aggressive eater,{not aggressive fish}then it could help to get him more in the mood.
